The Breakout EDU facilitation tools are a great way to add extra touches to the kit based games. Each game has a built in timer, lock and hint card tracker, [printable signs](https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/platformbreakout/hosted_files/prod/7843.pdf) for photos and even engaging background music. Everything you need to create an exciting environment for your students as they solve puzzles and (hopefully) break out!

From the kit game page, access the facilitation tools by clicking on “Launch Timer”

Starting the timer provides you with the ability to check off locks as they are completed, pause for hints and turn off and on the background music.

You can “End Game” by either hitting the “End Game” button OR by checking off all the locks.

Choosing the correct response will expose a final screen that you can use for posing students with “We Broke Out” or “We Tried” signs!

Win or lose - it's always fun to celebrate the end of a Breakout EDU game with a group photo.
